More great relics there Walker! Too bad that you didn’t find that spot earlier in the day. Would love to see what else you pull out of it when you get to go back in the fall. Always enjoy and look forward to seeing the next one. Take care and thanks for sharing.
@@thebattlefieldwalker2841 yes I'm a born and bred Limey....😂 always been interested in the Civil War and once worked in the Birmingham gun trade but 110 years too late to help the Confederacy.
@@johnlea8519 HA! Yeah, a little late to that party! I always find it interesting when a UK guy has a serious interest in our famous kerfluffel. Thanks for reaching across the pond!
Oh my gosh, what are you TALKIN' about Steve?? I've already dug that pit in my head 18 times. You won't believe what (I'm sure) must be in there. Just a little deeper . . .
Walker, Cold Harbor is a magical place and I have treasured every relic I’ve ever found there. I still have every one and will pass them to my son. You are very luck to have grown up there and met so many wonderful people, Mac, Gary,Pete, Mr Lyle, just a few of them I had the fortune to call friend. Thanks for the videos, at 65 I can’t hunt like I did but I hunt vicariously at Cold Harbor through your channel. Keep it up my friend and hope to meet you one day. George Gaylord - The Carolina Cavalry man.
I too, hope we meet. We must share a lot of the same memories. And yes, I was super fortunate to grow up where I did. What was your favorite Cold harbor find ever? Mine is hands down, a Maryland Bottany Cross kepi pr lapel insignia.
Mine was a perfect puppy paw SNY buckle dug over behind the run down store across from the Garthright house. It was from one of the New York heavy artillery units that attacked during the Second Corps assault. Got that a half canteen used to dig with and a body hook bayonet all in one afternoon. Was hunting with Gary Williams, Mac Mason, and Pete George. It was 1982 and I was a kid in a candy store just to be with these three legendary people.
Walker that's a mighty nice thing to do for your subscriber.. she got a good haul.. and you done good for the last hunt in that field. You will be thinking about that place till fall comes lol.. God bless
That's awesome contributing to Mrs. Williams that shows the kind of person you are. I know how you feel getting up I'm 59 and a little beat up. I got hit back in 99 broke me up pretty good but I still get out and metal detect just wish I had started earlier in life. I have done a few digging in va events. I love civil war but have only dug bullets and not many at that. Would love to find buttons and my bucket lister would be a confederate belt buckel. Maybe one day.I also enjoy researching my great great grandfather's civil war service he died at the mule shoe in Spotsylvania courthouse. He was in the 48th virginia infantry. Can't find a burial site no info and is not in any of the cemetery near bye
Mark, thank you for the kind words. How cool that you know your G-G-Grandfthers records, and even where he was killed. That's an attachment to history that I don't have. As for your bucket list item . . . you and me both! I've never gotten my coil over one.
Great dig Walker, you get in that ash & anything can happen, some wormed bullets indicates some soldiers hanging out around a campfire , consuming some rations, unloading their muskets , never can tell what the next signal might be, WTG, Fun dig!
youre opener made me lol! 2:46 thats a us navy chief peffy officers button. not sure exactly when they adopted that style. dont feel bad walker, im 5 years younger than you are but you get to your feet way better than i do lol. 13:28 ive seen sales tax tokens similar to that somewhere. what a great haul! i really enjoy seeing your displays.
@@thebattlefieldwalker2841 yes. 100% just google "us navy nco buttons" and compare. they were small denomination coins minted by a state or sometimes city to cover certain sales tax. my grandpa had a whole bunch from around the southwest when is dad was wildcatting (ie oil drilling) around that area. some were plastic, some copper-nickel, some aluminum. its a whole sub category of coin collecting. same with the paper stamp variety here in ohio.
Great day for bullets, keep up the good walking and and finds. Had a heart attack on the 14th, just got home today the 21st, got two stents, guess my union camp site will have to wait a little longer, sure not ready for digging right now.
@thebattlefieldwalker2841 I am a big Civil War buff myself. Haven't gotten to metal detecting any cool sites but I am at least starting to visit the civil war battlefields this summer. Those videos of Mud Ducks friends collection were amazing
@@thebattlefieldwalker2841 I am so sure it was. It must have been insane holding that amount of history in your hands. Thanks for responding to me. It's like talking to a celebrity.
@@francisbennett5965 Don't be silly! I can't even run with the big dogs on UA-cam, but thanks for saying so! Good luck with your metal detecting - it sure gets in your blood . . .
@@thebattlefieldwalker2841 I’d say within 20 ft or so…sometimes you can find exact gps coordinates listed in the metadata for a pin drop. It is only accurate if you have a good cell signal…because location is triangulated between towers. I’ll bet that Mud Duck can technically assist since they utilize GPS and drones in fire detection and prevention now. I’m really surprised that they have not integrated a GPS into a metal detector yet just for situations like this.
Hey walker what do you think that key was for? I found recently two keys very similar on a brass chain key on each end in a union camp in middle southern Tennessee.
Dave, this was a union camp as well. As for the use, I really don't know. I think a paymaster's money box would require a much bigger key - a more stout box. Who knows? A commanders records? Muster or service records? Lists of KIA and MIA? I mean it could even be civilian. If it was locked though, it was either valuable or important!
@@thebattlefieldwalker2841 i posted a picture and some one said barrel, tap keys for locking barrel taps, for spirits and Sogrum to raise soldiers spirits ?
I can see why you get so excited. I would have a hard time stopping too! Thank you for sharing 😊
Thank you Leeder!
Nice finds. Congratulations! You know you never have to go digging on your own. :)
HA! I hear you Jeff. If only I could convince these landowners of that!
More great relics there Walker! Too bad that you didn’t find that spot earlier in the day. Would love to see what else you pull out of it when you get to go back in the fall. Always enjoy and look forward to seeing the next one. Take care and thanks for sharing.
I guarantee I'm going to be walking behind the combine!
My favourite metal detecting channel, always something interesting that for me keeps the History alive...🇬🇧
John, I'm humbled and thank you! You from the UK?

I'd say that Miss Williams sure did bring the Luck! Really enjoyed everything you popped out! How many Dreams & Sleepless nights until Fall?

Loved the intro
Thanks Brian!
and……. You changed your gloves! Love your channel brother. When I can’t dig, I watch your re-runs.
I noticed that and told my wife, "Sammy won't miss that, even though I did." I got COLD.
Really nice hunt. I know the lady will really enjoy the finds.
hank you Terry!
You’ve been due a hunt like that for a while. Way to go brother 👍
Yeah, sad but true. Thanks 2much!

I am privileged to call him a friend.
Congratulations, Walker. You earned a good day like this one.
Nice of you to say Gary!
Wow so cool walker! Headed to my woods now just in hopes of a target these days . All good and thanks for sharing
Go GET some Ayers!
Great hunt today. I'm 64 and feel your pain. I hope you have many digs between now and the next time you visit this hole.
Thanks Bill. Plenty of pain to go around but I've got no complaints...!
It will be a long summer waiting on that honey hole, my friend…great video!!!
Darn right. I'll dig it in my head a dozen times . . .
Great Day BW!!!!! Congrats on the pit! I would have had to go find a lantern or something Brother! Thanks again for sharing! Take care buddy!
I hear you Shane. But it DOES give me something pretty fun to look forward to this fall . . . !
Walker that's a mighty nice thing to do for your subscriber.. she got a good haul.. and you done good for the last hunt in that field. You will be thinking about that place till fall comes lol.. God bless

You are dead on Benjamin. Can't wait for fall . . . !
Another vid with history recovered! Way to go Walker and thanks for sharing!
Appreciate it Jedi.
Man, you saved the best for last! I can't wait to see what else you pull out of that hole when you go back in the fall!
Keeping my hopes up, Swamp . . . !
Looking forward to the next hunt. Looks like you will dig a lot more from this spot. Thanks for sharing.
I sure hope so iuka!
Another great video. That was a very nice thing to do for a fan. Your a good and blessed man.
Thanks Dean. Mrs. Williams is a peach and I AM a blessed man!
Cool beans, thanks for sharing and have a Blessed Day!
You too, Jeff!
Thank you for sharing this hunt and your expertise with us!
My pleasure David!
Awesome hunt, nice finds!! 👍
Thanks Howard!
youre opener made me lol!
2:46 thats a us navy chief peffy officers button. not sure exactly when they adopted that style.
dont feel bad walker, im 5 years younger than you are but you get to your feet way better than i do lol.
13:28 ive seen sales tax tokens similar to that somewhere.
what a great haul! i really enjoy seeing your displays.
Thanks Thurin. You really think that button in military?? And what the heck is a sales tax token?!
@@thebattlefieldwalker2841 yes. 100% just google "us navy nco buttons" and compare.

What a day it’s been a good one good luck for next year 👍
It was a LONG day! Thanks Peter!
That alert footage 😂😂😂😂😂😂
It's a custom Battlefield Walker app.
Woah!!! Nice hunt brother!
Been awhile . . .
Great editing, thanx!
I appreciate that John - Thanks!
Great day for bullets, keep up the good walking and and finds. Had a heart attack on the 14th, just got home today the 21st, got two stents, guess my union camp site will have to wait a little longer, sure not ready for digging right now.

I was due, ill. And thanks!
If you run across another sweet spot,that you can’t dig right away…you can drop a pin with google maps. Great finds!
How accurate is that Brian? I mean like within 5 or 10 feet? I'm techno challenged for sure . . .

@@brianselt291 Maybe there's your million dollar invention dude! And you're right. Mudduck loves him some fancy technology . . .
That's a genius idea!!! We drop pins on Google Maps often, but marking it on the machine? Genius- it would be like simrad technology for fishing!
Awesome day !
Thanks Buzz.
Very cool 🎉🎉🎉
Thanks Steven!

Dang good hunt right there, maybe a belt plate lurking down there.
Hush John. I've already dug that pit 18 times in my mind, and turns out, you're right! There IS a plate down there. Pistol and Bowie knife too . . .
@@thebattlefieldwalker2841 Don’t forget the whole set of carved bullet chess pieces lol
@@johntalley2023 Didn't have time to get all of those . . .
I watched Murray on Family Treasures (Fox Business)
And he's a very genuine, super nice guy.
Have you ever been to Shiloh?
I have not, but maybe one day!
See how much more productive we would have been together! Would not have been burying no coke cans when we leave,
I hear you boy...!
